From the Paper:

"The proponents of adoption are of the view that instead of playing God, the decision-maker must first critically and closely analyze the issue from the moralistic point of view if reviewing the dilemma being faced from the spiritual or medical perspective is not possible. The pro-life group staunchly believes that opting for abortion instead of adoption is taking away an innocent life, without ever having to consider the insatiable thirst of childless parents who cannot have children due to infertility and sterility (Larimore, 1997). Thus, the proponents of adoption are of the opinion that abortion is not just depriving a developing child of his own dear life but it is also depriving countless couples out there who cannot have their own children but long to adopt and bring-up otherwise unwanted children. They also believe that aborting a fetus is like 'killing or murdering" an innocent life (Larimore, 1997)."
